Additionally, we were invited to showcase our expertise in the Retail and Healthcare sectors alongside other ISV partners.

Exist Software Labs Inc. Showcases Holistic Digital Transformation at Crayon ISV Innovation Day
The afternoon session was dedicated to the customers who were invited to the event. It featured seven thought tracks, each focusing on solving different industry problems through innovative solutions and services. Exist Software Labs had the privilege of presenting in the retail and healthcare tracks. As a software development company with a holistic approach to digital transformation, we aimed to demonstrate our deep expertise in these sectors.
Mr. Julius Cutaran, Product Manager for Exist Anahaw, discussed “Mapping the Retail Customer Journey” and the need for strategic management of digital, physical, and personal touchpoints. He highlighted how aligning these touchpoints and integrating channels can enhance customer experiences.
In the healthcare track, Mr. Willex Perez, Director for Exist Healthcare Solutions, covered “Transforming Healthcare with Modern Technologies.” He emphasized the importance of technology in improving patient care, communication, and efficiency, and advocated for a shift towards value-based care to address challenges in the healthcare sector.
Across both retail and healthcare, addressing challenges requires more than isolated point solutions, which often remain siloed and disconnected. This approach is akin to trying to fly with one wing, hindering true transformation. Our butterfly metaphor underscores the need for a comprehensive strategy, where businesses must leverage both Digital IT Services and Technical Innovation Components, unified by a digital roadmap. This interconnected approach not only solves immediate issues but also ensures long-term success and scalability, enabling organizations to achieve meaningful, sustained growth.
Finally, we had the opportunity to have our own booth, where we showcased our various services and solutions across the verticals of banking and financial services, energy, healthcare, and retail. This allowed us to connect with other ISVs seeking specific solutions to enhance their existing offerings or expand their business opportunities. We also engaged with companies looking for IT leads who can solve industry-specific challenges for their customers.

Our participation provided us with the opportunity to share our journey and experiences, which we believe will have a lasting impact on our future initiatives and collaborations.
Looking ahead, we are excited to continue engaging with ISVs and industry leaders at upcoming events, where we will further explore opportunities for growth and innovation.
